5. K S Ranjitsinhji (England – 62 & 154* vs Australia, Manchester, July 1896)
The pioneer of the leg-glance, Ranjitsinhji made his Test debut for England against Australia at Manchester in 1896, after having been left out of the side due to interference from Lord Harris, possibly under the influence of the British Government that was ruling India at the time.
Incensed, Ranjitsinhji scored a rapid 47 against the touring Aussies for Sussex in front of the MCC committee, and forced his way into the squad for the second Test. He made a cautious 62 in the first innings, but England were forced to follow-on. Employing the leg glance as well as the cut shot, the right-hander went on to hammer an unbeaten 154 against the likes of Ernie Jones. Though Australia eventually won, he was praised by one and all for his knocks.
